Cases involving admiralty and maritime law are about disputes and issues that arise on navigable waters, such as rivers, lakes, and oceans. These cases typically involve matters like ship collisions, cargo damage, maritime injuries, salvage operations, and maritime insurance claims. Admiralty and maritime law governs these cases to ensure uniformity and consistency in resolving legal disputes related to maritime activities.

The Maritime Injury Law Center has experience in general admiralty law and maritime personal injury law. It handles cases that deal with maritime personal injury claims and admiralty law. It also handles cases that involve sports injuries or boating accidents.

US admiralty courts, also known as federal maritime courts, have jurisdiction over cases involving maritime law, including disputes related to ships, seamen, cargo, and marine insurance. These courts are found in key coastal cities such as New York, New Orleans, and San Francisco.

Admiralty law governs crimes conducted at sea. Admiralty law is also commonly heard as "Maritime Law." Over the course of many years, the Admiralty laws have changed to include crimes conducted by foreign countries.
